Intuitive Software Interface

Clean and intuitive design with modernized software interface. Quick-select between laser modes and objectives for maximum efficiency. Review captured images and videos in the gallery. 

Isotherm Rings for Temperature Indication

The Isotherm Rings appear on the screen as a series of six concentric circles of varying colors. This safety feature indicates the drill hole size and the maximum temperature reached at the ring diameter. The Isotherm Rings automatically adjust for every power and pulse time combination.

High Resolution Digital Camera

View embryos in full screen and enhanced resolution with the integrated digital camera.  

Integrated Database

Store sample details and images to database. Improve workflow with the ability to quickly select sample information for future procedures.

Fixed Lasers

We also offer fixed laser systems, but these lasers do not offer moveable laser beam features or multiple laser paths. Try the XYRCOS DTS laser for computer-controlled accuracy and advanced targeting features. The standard XYRCOS fixed laser is equipped with the RED-i target locator visible through the microscope eyepieces and staccato mode for firing in rapid succession. The legacy XYClone is an alternative fixed research laser without RED-i or staccato features.

Hamilton Thorne’s LASERCare™ service plans offer economical and comprehensive coverage against unexpected repair costs and downtime. Two levels of service plans – Basic and Plus – are available for our clinical and research laser systems. The multi-tiered plans give customers the flexibility to choose the features that best suit their needs.
